Npcap 0.99-r8

on GitHub

Executable installer is available from https://npcap.org/#download

• Revert to using SERVICE_SYSTEM_START for the "Automatically start Npcap at
  boot" option. The previous value, SERVICE_AUTO_START had been introduced as
  a workaround for network interruption on Windows 7 that was finally solved in
  Npcap 0.99-r7. See #1208.

• Removed extra Registry keywords from Npcap Loopback Adapter which were
  causing it to not appear properly in Windows API calls.
  Fixes #1368.

• Detect in-use WinPcap installations before attempting to overwrite DLLs.
  Offer to terminate the processes just as we do for in-use Npcap.

• Improved documentation based on WinPcap
  documentation including updates for Npcap changes. Example code builds on
  Visual Studio 2015 and works with Npcap. Npcap SDK 1.01 includes these changes.

• Fix a crash in NPF_RegisterCallouts reported via Microsoft crash telemetry
  caused by a failure when opening the Npcap Loopback Adapter for packet
  capture.

• On Windows 8 and Server 2012, Npcap will rebind to network adapters after
  installation to ensure a more complete fix to
  #1031.
